re: OT Parents: At what age did you start letting your kid stay home by themselves?

Mom is worried about her daughter being a slut.
She’s pretty awkward in that regard but smart, so I don’t think that’s the case. Plus she goes to school in the county her Mom lives in, so she doesn’t have any close friends here in short proximity.
It’s probably worth disclosing her Mom got upset two weekends ago when I started showing the kid how to cook with the stove (supervised). She claimed I’ve now shown her “how she can burn the house down”.

And the kid is 15? Seems quite overprotective. Our youngest is 16 and she's gone in the car right now

It sounds to me that you're in a no win situation. This is a helicopter mom to the full extent. Unfortunately this kid might end up depending on her parents to do everything for her until she's 30 since she's still being treated like an 8 year old. All the mom is doing is delaying her development into adulthood, but maybe that's what mom wants?

My 8 year old scrambles her own eggs.
At some point, we’re all too big for the nest.

This kid is behind I hate to say it.
We let our 10 year old stay at home for brief things less than 2 hours. If we had a house phone I would feel better. She has her iPad she can FaceTime a bunch of people on. She knows the neighbors. We give her restrictions on what she can do and it’s basically read a book or watch her tablet/ tv.
What I came to post though, is my wife took one kid to an appt the other day and came home and my 10 year old cooked velveeta Mac n cheese for her and our other kid. Stove top style, they were done eating when my wife got home. She got in pretty serious trouble for it as we have a gas stove but we also have told them no eating when we are gone do to choking. But she took some cooking classes in summer school and my wife and I cook a lot, so she knows plenty.
But really it depends on your kid, both the ability to take care of themselves and the chance of them doing something stupid when left alone.
